I want to use this through an inside hallway wall to the garage where the cat's litter box is located. Dry wall on both sides. Will this work?

Physically this should work, however, the wall between the garage and the rest of a house is likely fire-rated, and installing this between the house and garage will also likely negate that fire-rate-ability. -greg frohring

Yes. I put mine through sheetrock on one side and Hardy board on the other. The way it telescopes with one side inside the other makes it perfect for this. You don't even have to use both doors at first while training.

Yes as long as it is a 2x4 wall, I have it on a drywall and stucco wall, but the building codes will not allow it.

Watch out! Building/fire codes normally require a fire rated wall between the garage and the living space. I would check with some one who knows your local building codes to find out if the break in the wall compromises the fire rating.You cannot sell a house that does not comply with applicable building and fire codes.

Yeah it should I went through stucko on my outside wall and a normal inside wall and worked just great! A tip put carpet between the doors my dogs seemed to adapt to the door better when I did that.

It should work.....my nephew-in-law installed mine through kitchen (dry wall) to outside (vinyl siding).

You would have to reach around the open door to set the Jammer... I think that most cats would be able to get through a space large enough for you to fit your arm through so I don't think it would work.

Yes there is, just type in 'cat mate tunnel' here on amazon and it will come up. I installed mine through a wall, I just made a tunnel from some wood I bought at home depot already painted and the exact width of the wall. Worked out great. It was my first cat/dog door install so it took me a good 3-4 hours, but it turned out great! Good luck!

Yes. I installed it in my garage to allow my cats to come in there from outdoors.

Does work through wall to my garage but not through metal! In plain sight no obstructions it works from over 100 feet!

Could work, I guess. I've installed it under the floor and it does a very good job. The idea is good, worth a try - in any case you design it the way so you can disconnect wall part at any time.

no, but the idea is good, this is more liquid goo than it is insulation. a pro company with open wall yes. best bet is to use sound deading drywall over what you have on wall now. stops it all normaly

Yes. I use clumping litter and it works just fine. As long as the cat doesn't drag out a large chunk of poop or something it will fall through just fine.

Not sure on that but face the device outward from your house and all I can say is test it out? Have your cat near the device in your home that's facing the other way and c if it scrams?

It doesn't need to be set between walls, but it needs to fold somewhat to stand. If your staircase isn't too wide, you could use this to block the staircase quite effectively unless there is an opening at the side of the stairs that would allow the cat to bypass the gate. The upright rods on the gate are 1-5/8 inches apart, in case that's relevant.

It will, but not from long range. Also depends on what is inside your walls. If they are solid walls (lath and plaster or block) it will not work very well.

Of course you would not place it in an area that can be reached by either . My cats don't bother it at all

it may work intermittently. I dont think it would be reliable. The walls will definitely cause problems at that distance.

we put it in a existing wall in a entry and put the door on the inside wall. Screwed it to the wall. the other part went against the outside wall.. Just make sure it is level and square. We used 1x4 to line between the two walls.. (make a box to fit the hole. they have a sorta 4" ledge inside the wall to step on befgore they get out. But with the door on the inside wall helps keep rain from coming down on the door. Been good and we've got a "fat-fat cat" using it along with smaller cats. great door. Let me know if I can help u or if something is not clear.. but was really asy. we put it in a existing wall in a entry and put the door on the inside wall.

If I remember correctly, I don't think it can go through walls, needs to be an open space. So, I'd check the specs before buying.

If you can position the cat genie so that the mechanical part is by the wall, then the portion the cat uses will be more open. I haven't had that problem

I don't think so, you have to cut into the dry wall to flush mount it to the ceiling.
